Hi GoGlobers!
We invite you to our informal meetup in Munich, Germany.
Please RSVP and see the details below.

“Statistics over the past 40 years of VC investing show that approximately 50% of an average portfolio gets written off. This means that one or two startup exits (about 5% of portfolio) will have to pay for all the investments, write-offs, all the costs and fees, and generate all the profits for the whole fund.”

“One of my favorite company-building quotes comes from Reid Hoffman: “Building a startup is like jumping off a cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.”
Every startup creates and replaces huge parts of the metaphorical airplane at various points in their journey. However, I’ve noticed a recent trend (and opportunity): many fintechs maintain unnecessarily complex and costly parts of their airplane long after they should’ve replaced or outsourced them.”

“The Spanish Parliament has approved the new law for start-ups and digital nomads, which regulates who is eligible for this visa and anticipates reducing the Corporation Tax for these categories from 25 to 15 per cent in the first four years of their stay in Spain.

In addition, the new law regulates that Corporation Tax that applies to startups and investors to be reduced from 25 to 15 per cent in the first four years, and it also allows remote workers to be able to pay the Non-Resident Tax, which refers to workers and companies who receive income in Spain but cannot stay there for more than 183 days. Digital nomads will also be eligible to benefit from the same tax rate of 15 per cent, limited only throughout the first four years of their stay.

By the end of the month, it is expected for the government to determine the exact requirements and conditions for digital nomads, including the minimum amount they have to earn, although the amount is expected to be approximately €2,000 per month.”

GGW Startup Pitch & Networking is a recurring event for tech founders to pitch to investors without slides, get questions, and exchange contact.

“In contrast to the broad VC ecosystem, which has seen valuations dip this year, prices for deals in carbon and emissions tech have been heating up for all stages, but most significantly at the early stage, where the median pre-money valuation jumped to $35 million, an 84% increase from last year.

Investor interest in this vertical is expected to grow as VCs take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act signed in August. The legislation committed about $370 billion to combat climate change.

Startups in the carbon and emissions tech vertical develop technologies that capture and store carbon and reduce emissions from sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture.”

“An interesting development in Payment! - Stripe Debuts Fiat-to-Crypto Payment Offering for Web3 Businesses

Stripe is a giant of the payments world, processing online purchases for the likes of Apple and Walmart. Its move into crypto could help move blockchain payments further into the mainstream.

The service, which crypto companies can use to let their customers exchange dollars for crypto, will also handle fraud, compliance, and know-your-customer (KYC) checks.

Customisable and ready to integrate with existing products will enable gaming companies to onboard players and let them add money to wallets, eliminating the need for third-party services to exchange fiat currency and crypto.

For more convenience, customers can also save their Payment and identifying information to Stripe’s Link service, which can autofill the info during subsequent purchases.”

5 Big Mistakes Founders Make with Decks by Harry Stebbings:

1. Decks are too long. Max 10 slides. Have an appendix if you want more data at the end.

2. Team page is a load of pics. This doesn’t provide any value or context. Have a few profiles with more context of why these people are perfect to solve this problem.

3. Advisor slides: So overused, they mean little today, skip. They are not the ones building the company.

4. TAM: No it is not a $1TRN market. Be precise, segment the market. Use the market size slide to show your knowledge and intellect on where the market is today and how it will change.

5. Do not have an exit slide. Total BS.

Bonus: Have a slide, “Why You Shouldn’t Invest”. 3 of your biggest weaknesses and then show what you are proactively doing to mitigate them.
